Outsourced hotel revenue management means I do the job of the revenue manager for you: I watch the comp set and pace every day, move rates and restrictions, manage the OTAs, forecast demand and report each month. You keep control of the hotel and see every decision.
What I plan around in Lille: Braderie de Lille flea market; Eurostar and cross-border travel; Lille Christmas market; Flemish estaminet culture. Guests I price for: weekend and cross-border visitors on 1 to 3 night stays in Vieux Lille around the Grand Place. Where I start: the single huge Braderie weekend, Eurostar-driven short breaks from London and Brussels, and French registration numbers for city lets.
From my years in five-star hotels, I help Lille hotels balance congress and trade-show business at Lille Grand Palais with leisure weekends, build fences for major fair dates, and choose a competitive set across the station district and the old town.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Lille.
I monitor your comp set and booking pace every day and move rates, rate plans and restrictions as demand shifts, room type by room type.
I manage the channel mix, parity and promotions together across Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Google and your own site, so cost of sale does not eat the gain.
On the higher plans I forecast demand by month and segment, build the annual budget and keep a 12-month pricing calendar tied to the market's real dates.
You get a monthly performance summary, a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, and on Pro a monthly strategy call and a quarterly review.
“Lille has one enormous weekend, the Braderie de Lille on the first weekend of September, when millions visit Europe's biggest flea market. December's Christmas market is the second peak. Eurostar brings London and Brussels weekenders all year. I price the Braderie a year ahead.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
I keep weekend rates for Eurostar visitors fair and lean on trade shows at Lille Grand Palais midweek, instead of slashing prices to fill quiet winter nights.
Spring weekends, football at the stadium and the cultural seasons around Lille 3000 bring short stays, so I keep two-night weekends and watch event dates closely.
Students leave and summer is relatively quiet, so I welcome longer stays and keep midweek rates realistic rather than pricing August like a holiday resort.
The first weekend of September stands apart; after it I return to normal autumn levels and use the month for conferences and returning students' families.
Autumn weekends and then the Christmas market carry the calendar, and I raise Friday and Saturday rates for December while keeping Sundays and midweek accessible.

No revenue manager
The role left or was never hired, and rooms are priced between other duties.
Results have plateaued
RevPAR has stopped moving while the comp set keeps learning.
More than one property
You want one consistent method across a small group without building a department.
An owner or asset manager
You want decisions made by a specialist and reported in numbers you can check.
Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.
I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.
I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.
Step 4
You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.
Priced monthly by your hotel's size, not per room. Core, Plus and Pro, month to month, never a percentage of revenue. Hotels of 200 or more rooms, luxury properties and groups are quoted individually.

Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

Busiest in Lille: the Braderie de Lille on the first weekend of September, and December for the Christmas market. September: The first weekend of September stands apart; after it I return to normal autumn levels and use the month for conferences and returning students' families. October to December: Autumn weekends and then the Christmas market carry the calendar, and I raise Friday and Saturday rates for December while keeping Sundays and midweek accessible. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. Whether the French registration number appears on every listing and the tourist tax is applied consistently, since Lille checks city lets and guests compare totals carefully.
Price for Eurostar weekenders with 1 to 2-night stays. Next: display registration numbers. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Lille property usually leaks the most.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Lille: January to February and the quiet summer weeks. January and February: I keep weekend rates for Eurostar visitors fair and lean on trade shows at Lille Grand Palais midweek, instead of slashing prices to fill quiet winter nights. March to June: Spring weekends, football at the stadium and the cultural seasons around Lille 3000 bring short stays, so I keep two-night weekends and watch event dates closely.
Eurostar weekend demand ignored and long minimum stays. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Lille, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Lille, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Lille sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. March to June: Spring weekends, football at the stadium and the cultural seasons around Lille 3000 bring short stays, so I keep two-night weekends and watch event dates closely.
Vieux Lille: Cobbled streets, Flemish facades and estaminets make this the most-requested quarter; I price it as the premium option for couples on short breaks. Euralille and the stations and Wazemmes get their own treatment. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Flemish estaminet culture, Braderie de Lille flea market and Eurostar and cross-border travel are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Lille.
